i was shocked, i heard this morning that actually mitt got 2 million less votes than john mccain. which no one would have thought. the election wasn't all that close. >> turnout was obviously different than '08. your point is well taken. we're looking at a picture of grover. we had over the weekend bill kristol, another influential voice on the gop said say on fox i don't understand why republicans just don't take the president's offer? are they really going to defend millionaires, half of whom voted democrat and half of whom live in hollywood? those are kristol's views. i wonder if you think the norquists of the world are getting marginalized here? >> i certainly hope so. he wasn't elected to anything. you can talk to wealthy people. no one wants to pay more taxes. but, believe me, we don't get out of bed in the morning and try to figure out what our tax rate is and decide whether we're going to go to work or not. we go to work because that's what we do. i also think democrats have to compromise on entitlements. i don't see why they can't raise the retirement age for people who a

when you support comprehensive immigration reform like john mccain did but then refuse to do it when president obama is in the white house, when you have the nominee of the party, mitt romney, saying people should self deport. so their house and go back to mexico. you cannot win latino votes when you make war against them . what againstin california has happen nationwide. -- what has happened in california happened nationwide. i am not sure how much credit arthur davis has. i was disappointed when he left the party and supported mitt romney. i did not buy his reasons for doing so. i would disagree with him on this. i do not think republicans should write off the african- american party at all. they are talking about jobs, improving the economy. if they are willing to save medicare and social security are going to stay, they can get african-american votes. to write them off as arthur davis suggested i think would be a colossal mistake. host: we will get to your calls in just a moment. you can also send us a comment on facebook or twitter. what surprised you about the election? guest:

mitt romney and john mccain did very poorly. the suburbs is a place where republicans are going to have to do better. host: you have used the word turn out. is the democratic turnout operation simply better than the republican operation? guest: i think you had it right. it is the obama turn out. host: does that go away? republicans guest: can hope so. i am sure the democratic party has figured out, we have to repeat this. we have seen what the obama camping can do. we are going to do it again. republicans, they had a much better effort by the party. i had a turnout party by conservative groups that made millions of calls. it did not produce what they hoped it would. they got a lot of voters out, but obviously not enough. host: i want to take you to a clip of a conservative writer talking about what needs to happen with the republican party.

we did a story recently about him and we had john mccain talk about how much -- how much he respected and although they did not always see eye to eye. but i think the foreign relations panel in both chambers, sense, i guess, the 1960's, just as not had as much as an impact on what the president does as it used to. if kerry becomes the secretary of state, i guess you end up taking what he was hoping to do -- and at the administration level. but it reiterates what i am saying, which is you can't do much until you are in the administration about these kinds of things. >> i think you made a good point. if i could go back to bob corker also. he is kind of this fascinating character to me. in some ways he is almost non partisan and the way he deals with a lot of people. it may be due to his background as mayor of chattanooga. instead of going to the republican national convention in tampa over the summer, he went to the middle east. some people will use these as publicity stunts -- look at me, i am substantive while others are getting drunk. but at the same time, he is a pretty sharp guy. d

senator john mccain took the lead on the republican side. president barack obama, then a senator, was part of that effort. unfortunately we haven't moved forward since those days. there's one part of immigration reform which is very important to me personally. it's known as the dream act. 11 years ago i introduced this legislation for the first time. it would allow a select group of immigrant students with great potential to contribute to this country. the dream act would give these students a chance to earn their way to citizenship if they came to the u.s. as children, have good moral character, graduated from high school and at least complete two years of college or serve in our military. these young people grew up in america, and they've overcome great obstacles. they went to school with many of our own kids and are valedictorians, star agent leads, leaders in the rotc. they are future teachers, doctors, engineers who would make america stronger. why would we want to educate them and lose their talents for the future of our country? last
